APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
When more than one trust clients are configured to use the same STS endpoint and those trust clients are configured to use different WS-Security policy sets and/or bindings, the policy set and bindings that are applied to one or more of the trust client calls may be incorrect.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: IBM WebSphere Application Server V7.0 users * * of WS-Security enabled JAX-WS applications * * and SAML * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Incorrect policy set and/or bindings * * may be applied to a trust client * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply a fix pack that contains this APAR. * **************************************************************** There are instances when an incorrect policy set and/or bindings may be applied to a trust client. When a scenario requires that more than one policy set and/or bindings be applied to the same endpoint, the policy and/or bindings that are applied to the endpoint is undetermined. For instance, consider the following flow in a single application: An inbound token is validated: A UsernameToken with a password is sent to an STS Then a token exchanged: A UsernameToken without a password is sent to the same STS endpoint Each of these communications can use the same policy but would require different bindings in order to configure the UsernameToken generator to send the UsernameToken without a password. Given this scenario, the trust client will apply the first policy and bindings properly. However, the second will not.
Problem conclusion
The WS-Security runtime is updated so that it is able to use different policy sets and bindings for trust clients that use the same STS endpoint. This APAR requires Web Services APAR PM63637 in order to be fully-functional. Applying this APAR by itself will not adversely affect the WS-Security runtime. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 7.0.0.25.
